Code 19 and SD R2102 CD-RW/DVD-ROM Burner

I have a similar issue that use „rexaq” had in July2007. Unfortunately no one provided a solution, I hope I am luckier now:


After a clean, new install of XP Prof on a Compaq Presario 905EA cd/dvd drive will not work because it keeps bringing up this error

"Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)

I have tried uninstalling and reinstall the device several times and also had a full licensed version of an Registry Cleaner (RegCure) without success.


Wen I go into the control panel and select add/remove hardware, do the needed steps, it brings up a list of installed hardware, and the cd drive is marked with an "!" mark. I can select it and it brings up that same error.


If anyone can help me with Toshiba SD R2102 CD-RW/DVD-ROM Burner driver, and/or further information – this issue is driving me nuts!

Code 19 Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged.
This can occur when more than one service is defined for a device, if there is a failure opening the service subkey, or if the driver name cannot be obtained from the service subkey.
Recommended Solution :
Many third-party programs that control CD or DVD burning (as well as some player applications) install CD- or DVD-ROM filter device drivers into Windows. These filter drivers are meant to allow for low-level hooks into the hardware, to allow for functions such as packet writing (where a CD-R/W or DVD-/+RW can be written incrementally, like a hard disk).

These filter drivers sometimes have problems that can cause the CD or DVD drive to stop working correctly. The device entry for the CD or DVD drive in the Device Manager may show up with an error descriptor that reads "The device could not start." Additionally, there may be an error message that reads "One of the filter drivers for this device is invalid." The devices themselves do not show up in Explorer. Error codes for the device include code 31, code 32, code 19 or code 39, and sometimes the even more ominous warning "Your registry might be corrupted" appears.

Fixing the problem simply involves deleting the filter entries for the third-party device drivers. These entries can sometimes become damaged (which is what produces the "corrupt registry" warning).

To delete the offending keys, open the Registry and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlCl ***\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}. . Delete the keys named UpperFilters and LowerFilters and reboot.

Several of the products made by Roxio are infamous for causing this problem, although in fairness to the company the most recent versions of their Roxio CD/DVD writing software (6.2 and higher) do not have these problems. Users of 5.0 or 6.0 editions of the Easy CD & DVD Creator product, which has been bundled with many new PCs in the past, should upgrade to 6.2 or better. Other programs can also cause this problem, with the same solution.

Note that after you do this, you may lose functionality in the program that uses the filter drivers, which may need to be reinstalled.

D: Toshiba DVD-ROM SD-R2102 ("Write error - Medium error")

Yo' Sam!

Start by checking your WINDOWS CONTROL PANEL. Be sure there are no errors for your drivers. IF you have your proper drivers for your DVD Drive, totally remove ALL drivers and then restart your system... still have problems?

Next TOTALLY DELETE your Roxio program... somewhere on the Internet there is a tool that will do just that. You want to try your best to CLEAR and ALL hard drive and REGISTRY traces of ROXIO program(s)!

Just ONE bad ROXIO/REGISTRY problem can have you chasing your tail for days/forever.

With ROXIO deleted, try one of the FREE DVD burning programs to assure it's not really a DVD problem?

I just did a GOOGLE check and there are tons of hits for you.

Hope this helps!

I need driver Toshiba DVD sd r2102

DVD & CD R/RW use generic windows drivers for the most part. Remove the drive from the list in device manager. Windows will then install the drivers again when you reboot.

Hi CD rom cannot be detected

Thanks for your response. My problem is solved. I got some advice to go into the registry and delete the entry LowerFilters. My DVD drive works perfect now. Below is the info that solved my problem. This may help someone who runs into the same problem. Thanks again.

Go to Start>Run type: regedit click Ok. When regedit opens
navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

In the right pane you will see a value Upper Filters and Lower Filters.
Rt click on each one and choose delete.
That should do it.
